I really enjoyed this! I found the protagonist, Frances, uncannily relatable. I loved how friendship was at the centre of the story rather than romance, and loved the development of the main friendship throughout the book. Oseman did an excellent job of demonstrating how parental emotional abuse and manipulation works. The mystery element of the storyline also had me intrigued, and I wish Universe City was real! Overall a really enjoyable read, much more so than Solitaire which I struggled to get through.
